The financial data reflects various trends and fluctuations in key performance indicators over the observed quarters. Net product revenues exhibit an overall declining trajectory starting from early 2020, with a peak near 2,904 million US$ in Q1 2020 and a descent to approximately 1,962 million US$ by Q3 2022. This reduction signals pressures on core product sales during the latter periods.

Revenues derived from anti-CD20 therapeutic programs show a pattern of volatility without a distinct sustained upward or downward trend. Initial growth up to Q4 2018 is followed by fluctuations averaging around mid-400 million US$ to mid-500 million US$ quarterly. Notable is a dip in early 2021, with partial recovery observed in subsequent quarters.

The 'Other' revenues category is highly variable, showing significant spikes and contractions. Particularly large fluctuations are evident in Q2 2020 and Q1 2022, where amounts surged well beyond preceding quarters, indicating irregular or non-recurring income components.

Total revenues mirror the product revenue trend, peaking around late 2019 to early 2020 near 3,681 million US$, then declining to around 2,509 million US$ by Q3 2022. This decline further underscores the overall contraction in revenue generation in latter quarters.

Cost of sales, excluding amortization and impairment, follows a somewhat inconsistent pattern with occasional sharp increases, such as the surge in Q1 2022 reaching over 660 million US$. The rising cost pressure contributes to decreasing gross profit, which shows a downturn beginning in early 2020 - gross profit fell from a high of approximately 3,270 million US$ in mid-2020 to roughly 2,039 million US$ in Q3 2022. This indicates tightened margins and rising production or procurement costs.

Research and development (R&D) expenses exhibit notable spikes, especially pronounced in Q4 2020 with expenses reaching over 1,726 million US$, significantly higher than previous quarters. This surge points to intensified investment in development activities during that period. Subsequent quarters show fluctuating but generally lower R&D expenditures.

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses remain relatively stable but elevated, with some peaks such as Q4 2020 to early 2021 where expenditures approach or exceed 800 million US$. The steady maintenance of these costs suggests consistent operational spending despite revenue declines.

Amortization and impairment charges fluctuate substantially, including significant spikes in Q3 2018 (over 281 million US$) and Q2 2021 (exceeding 600 million US$). These irregular charge amounts likely reflect episodic impairments or write-downs impacting profitability.

Collaboration profit and loss sharing data indicate alternating losses and gains across the quarters with no clear directional trend. Positive contributions in some quarters partially offset losses in others.

One-time gains such as sale of building and divestiture of manufacturing operations present as isolated events with significant impact on income from operations in corresponding quarters, notably in Q1 2022 with a large gain from building sale recorded.

Income from operations demonstrates an overall decline trend from peaks near 1,974 million US$ in mid-2020 to a negative figure (-331 million US$) in Q1 2021, followed by a recovery trend reaching approximately 1,315 million US$ by Q3 2022.

Other income (expense), net shows volatile behavior with notable positive and negative spikes, evidencing irregular financial earnings or losses unrelated to primary operations.

Income before income tax and equity in income follows a pattern similar to income from operations, with significant fluctuations and a notable dip in early 2021, rebounding towards Q3 2022.

Income tax expenses vary dramatically, with exceptionally large tax benefits recorded in Q4 2017 and mid-2021, suggesting adjustments or credits impacting tax liabilities. The variability in tax expense impacts net income trends notably.

Net income displays periods of growth followed by sharp declines. After strong earnings through 2019, a net loss is visible in Q4 2017 and a significant downturn in Q1 2021 with negative net income, followed by recovery in later quarters reaching positive territory over 1 billion US$ by Q3 2022.

Net income attributable to the company shows consistent alignment with overall net income trends, mirroring the volatility and eventual recovery towards the end of the observed timeframe.

Overall, the data reveals several periods of operational and financial stress marked by declining revenues, increasing costs, and large one-time charges, balanced by occasional gains and recovery in income towards recent quarters. The increased R&D investment in 2020 and fluctuating amortization charges suggest strategic shifts and potential restructuring efforts amid a challenging market environment.
